    What else can he say?
    Every player deserves to start with a clean slate for a new season

    It certainly hasn't been forgotten by me! And it's not about individual players and wiping the slate clean but rather the structure and size of the squad. And that should be one lesson we've all learned from. If we have a repeat of last season in having an inadequate squad, the finger of blame will rightly be pointed at the owners.

    At the start of last season, the squad was big enough but it certainly lacked quality and depth for when injuries, illnesses and lack of form kicked in. And that isn't just speaking with hindsight. Those problems were evident last season before a ball was even kicked although many chose to ignore it. And the way things are shaping up so far with 5 weeks to go before the season kicks-off, last season's issues are still there. There's time to get some quality and cover into the club and I trust we do. But if we start this coming season with the same quality of squad as last season, I don't see us being in any better position at the end of the new season than last season.

    Football is fickle. If we’re top 2 after 5 games everyone will be perfectly happy and all will be forgotten.

    Not sure we should/need to forget last season but everyone should move on. The second half was a disaster, we all know that, but it’s done and the changes have been extensively made.

    All top teams move on from disappointment: Man City this season vs 4th last season, Chelsea when they finished 15th and followed that by winning the league. Not sure why some are implying that we shouldn’t move on, it’s the only thing to do if you want to succeed going forward.

    Absolutely, and harping on and on about what happened last season would be a sure fire way to dent the hopes and ambitions of the players (new as well as those still here from last season) so what would be the point? A fresh start and clean plate are the best ways to move forward, dwelling on the past and what might have been never ends well.

    Some of those players that downed tools at the back end of the season are still here.

    so no, not all is forgotten.

    i don't care.

    How about?

    Last season wasn't unacceptable etc.

    Steven Gerrard on last season at Ranagers: "We go on pre season, last season no good enough. I will see who is up for the fight and I will be honest some won't be here for long"

    Gerrard is a winner though! Collins a yes man! Massive difference

    There are some very bitter people about who simply cannot let go - imagine being their partner!!!

    Doyle, Sattlemaier, Raeder, McMahon, Dieng, Law, Gilliead have all gone - plus a bunch of loans who came in January that failed to stop the rot. Two managers responsible for last season have also gone and 8 new players, with more expected to follow.

    It is a fresh start and last season has gone.

    Wouldn’t use the term ‘bitter’ - ‘let down’, ‘disappointed’ maybe more appropriate.

    Why do you think we haven't much money to spend?

    I'll tell you why? Because our main backer brought the club for his mate and has no interest in funding the club.

    We've money!

    As for Collins I am not interested in him being the players mates. The players down tools last season and the performances were a let down at the back end of the season and it's not forgotten by fans.

    I want to hear fighting talk.

    Even the most pro Edin poster on here would find that hard to believe, must be one big hat to keep Abbott, Collins and Drury under it **no way :D.
